@ESabro3: “Cooper Flagg arrived just when this sport needed him. He was perfectly designed in the Coach K Laboratory for Duke Villains. Been a while since we’ve had a proper villain in that role.”
Matthew Winick: “I hate that the rest of the ACC is so bad that I rarely get to watch Cooper Flagg play basketball. He really is the best player in the sport.”
Sean Paul: “The Duke Blue Devils beat Wake Forest in Winston Salem. It was a low scoring rock fight between two elite defenses, but one team has Cooper Flagg and the other doesn’t. The star freshman — and NPOY favorite took over today. Flagg with 24 points, seven rebounds and six dimes.”
Jeff Borzello: “Duke goes into Winston-Salem and hands Wake Forest its first home loss of the season. Blue Devils have now won 13 in a row. Faced a six-point second-half deficit, but went on a 14-2 run to retake control.
Cooper Flagg: 24 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists”
Caleb Doyle: “Cooper Flagg is unreal. Such an advanced skillset, can literally score at will. Wish he came to Georgia smh”
@rileyricharrds: “Cooper Flagg is something else on the defensive end man.
Instincts
Athleticism
Hands
Motor
IQ
All just so elite. Will make so many ALL NBA defensive teams”
Duke will play their next game when they host NC State on Monday.
